You are right. Yesterday when I tried to use the file name (with periods in it) without the extension .LBX the program could not find the file. So the LABEL FORM (cLabelName) failed. And I had to use the full file name (with the extension). Hence I am thinking that maybe I could find a way to replace periods with something different. One idea I had was to use a letter 'd' as in
'label_1d1x4d0' Kind of looks weird but it is all a matter of getting used to.
Thank you.
